I just confirmed that encryption still works for me with current wireless- testing in AP as well as in STA (client) mode. Please provide us with more information: 1.) What is your chipset revision (check in dmesg)? Mine is: ath5k phy1: Atheros AR5414 chip found (MAC: 0xa5, PHY: 0x61). AR5413 and AR5414 should be very similar, AFAIK. 2.) What encryption did you use? TKIP or AES (CCMP)? I tested both in STA mode. I can get DHCP and i tested several minutes of high traffic. No problem as far as I can see. I used wpa_supplicant v0.7.1. 3.) Is this on a SMP (multi) processor machine? I test with a single processor. bruno _______________________________________________ ath5k-devel mailing list ath5k-devel@lists.ath5k.org https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-devel
